New KX500AF buyer looking for some info....
« on: December 05, 2015, 11:36:02 AM »
Hello all, I am looking to see if I can find out the history of the 2008 KX500AF I just bought from a guy named Chris Huie.  I believe the bike was built by someone in So Cal but I am not for sure. Any help would be appreciated.

Who ever did the conversion sure made some nice welds.
Cool bike.
If it's a Service Honda it will have a sticker.

I have not called Aj @ Service Honda but I'm pretty sure this was a very clean DIY job.

You will ride it again, I just need to keep pestering you.  :-D
Perhaps I have a dirt bike addiction?

Definitely a different approach with your wishbone.  Still, nicely done.  Looks strong.
My bottom rails fit into a square opening before being welded.

Yes, it will be ridden again.  It will be a good spring project.
If someone wasn't missing in action today I would have been
riding Danger4u-also in back of the shop.
Instead I was streeting it on the GSA doing bridge pic's.

It was a beautiful day too. I would have loved to be riding today instead of hauling branches from the ice storm.  It's amazing how many neighbors can find excuses not to help when it's "neighborhood clean up day".  :-D
